I'm not sure exactly how this works or where to best post(sorry ).
I'm traveling with my hubby Jan 16-17th, 1015. Need hotel LAX (with shuttle) cheap as possible.
From Marriott website I came up with:
Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel $129
Courtyard Los Angeles LAX $139
Courtyard Los Angeles El Segundo $129
(BTW, son's employee discount doesn't work on any of these properties or makes the price jump way up!)
I'm not partial to any one brand. I just need the airport shuttle and a nice stay before our cruise. We are presently book at La Quinta LAX for $72.25 ($83.45 total)

Thank you!!!!!!!

La Quinta gives free (though not fancy) breakfast to all. Courtyard does not give free breakfast to anyone (not even Marriott Platinum).
Similarly, do you need wifi? That'll be free for all at La Quinta, while paid (for non-elites) at several of the Marriott brands.\
This thread is for for people who specifically want Marriott properties (because of elite status, or because of promos, or whatever reason), but at the lowest rate possible. It's not for finding the lowest across all brands, Marriott or not. That would the Hotel Deals forum probably:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hotel-deals-607/
LNF (if you're not familiar with it) is Marriott's "Best Rate Guarantee" program (which they call "Look No Further"). Here's a thread that explains it much further:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...rsion-brg.html
There's another thread that shows LNF successes, and in that thread there was this post the other day, which about the best rate I recall seeing for a Marriott property around LAX recently:
Last night I filed another two claims for two separate reservations of the same date (under different names), and both were approved!
Marriott hotel name: Los Angelas Marriott Airport
Check-in date: 12/19/14
Check-out date: 12/20/14
Marriott rate reserved: 99.00 (exclude tax)
Currency: USD
Lower rate found or reserved: 94(exclude tax )
Currency: USD
LNF Rate: $70
Marriott hotel name: Los Angelas Marriott Airport
Check-in date: 12/19/14
Check-out date: 12/20/14
Marriott rate reserved: 99.00 (exclude tax)
Currency: USD
Lower rate found or reserved: 94(exclude tax )
Currency: USD
LNF Rate: $70
But that's just $2.25 below what you got at La Qunita, so what I said above applies (if you prefer Marriott, that's great, but if you have no status, the Marriott brand will nickel & dime you while La Quinta won't).

I want to book the Philadelphia Marriott and am ready to commit, but an wondering wether the rate can be bettered.
i used to do very well with LNF but for the past few years have had nothing but rejections, mainly claiming currency variations (by 10%??) or claims that the site I located is some kind of club.
So, to you experts out there, looking for a rate for the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown 30th Oct to 3rd Nov for a twin bedded room, current advance purchase rate is $696 (not inc taxes)

Planning a trip to Seattle 10/17-10/20. I've run all the promo codes on the wiki and it actually is more expensive than the straight Marriott search. I'm interested in 3 properties:
1) Courtyard Seattle Downtown (best rate $159)
2) Renaissance Seattle Hotel (best rate $159)
3) Seattle Marriott Waterfront (best rate $209)
Can anyone find better?

No. LNFs have to filed at least 24 hours in advance, so you can't possibly get an LNF for a check-in tonight.

Hi,
Can anyone help me find a LNF rate for any of the higher tier Marriott chain hotels in San Francisco around the June 4-9, 2015 (dates semi-flexible) time frame? Anything by Fisherman's Wharf or Union Square, etc would be good.
I didn't realize SFO was such an expensive city and I don't have enough points to book as everything is Category 8.
Many thanks.

Hi All,
I'm looking for 2 rooms in central London from Nov 9 - 15, for under 150 GBP per room per night. Everything I have looked at gives me the same price as Marriott.com. Any help would be gratefully accepted!
